Your 1st Best Buzzer Beater of the Season

In case any of you are wondering, College Basketball has started their season. And teams are playing full-fledged games.

Which brings us to the early contender for "Craziest Finish" of the season.a

It happened Friday night at the California-Irvine vs. Fresno State game. The last minute of overtime featured not 1, but 5 lead changes. Including a near last second shot by both teams.

The score kept going back and forth, the fans at the Bren Events Center were going crazy.

It looked like Irvine would get the win, but the Bulldogs got the ball last. That's when Allen Huddleston found the ball in his hands and the clock winding down to zero. It's also when Huddleston launched a 40-foot runner.

It went in, the buzzer sounded--game over and Fresno State walked, or bounced away with the 98-97 win.

The game wasn't on TV, the video, shot by the someone in the crowd, so it's a little rough, but check it out:

Cal-Irvine Sets Dodgeball Record

((HT: KABC-TV))

The HQ will openly admit it...

We played dodgeball during our formative years...

And, yes, we hear the collective laughter amongst the stars as you all say "formative years...???"

Anyhoo...

We played both dodgeball and bombardment (the version where you could catch the ball when thrown and the thrower would be retired to the sidelines... once that happened, they could receive the ball from teammates still in play and peg you with it all over again...)

And the kids at Cal-Irvine set a world record the other day for most participants in one such game...
